A Place in the Country

By: Elizabeth Adler

Narrated by: Charlotte Anne Dore

Caroline Evans is a single mom trying to raise her 15-year-old daughter, Issy, as best she can. Her ex-husband, James, was a philandering charmer, and a wealthy one at that. Their life had been lavish, but Caroline couldn't put up with his cheating and left him, taking Issy with her. And Issy has never forgiven her for this.

Now, they live in the countryside outside London, where Caroline has built a modestly successful catering business, and Issy is now at an all-girls boarding school. Things are beginning to feel normal. But when James mysteriously appears on her doorstep one night and then vanishes soon after, Caroline feels her world being turned upside down once again. Delving into a world of high-stakes finance she knows little about, Caroline and Issy must find a wary peace, and solve a murder. And Caroline also finds herself guarding a wounded heart against yet another man who seems determined to win her over.

With trademark twists and turns and memorable characters, Elizabeth Adler delivers another summer getaway novel that will leave you gasping for more.

Enjoyable

I very much enjoyed this audio book. It’s not going to be a top favorite book but it’s very pleasant. I felt the narrator was too easy on her ex-husband but in the end that didn’t really matter. Would recommend for anyone looking for a casual listen or beach read.

Jesus?

I was all in until the narrator pronounced Mexican character Jesus (heyZOOS) as JEEzus. I mean, come on…

Adventurous

Mystery, journey, attitude drama.. fun story
Good story teller!! Will read more from this author

Great book

Totally enjoyed! Great story! Characters were all very realistic and well portrayed. Very well written!

Bana- a little wishy washy and predictable

seemed as dull as the main creator was. had it figured out by mid-way point. did not like her parenting skills letting a 15-year-old go over night without meeting the parents,! to another city. It is a bit of a cliffhanger for a squail.
